365/365: This is it.

Project 365 is a wrap! I started this a year ago without much expectations, just a desire to push myself deeper into photography and boy have I learned a lot. It’s been an aeon, it’s been hard and painful at times, fun at most. I’ve made so many new friends, contacts, acquaintances on and offline as a result of this project. This project most certainly changed my life in a way, opening up so many opportunities that wouldn’t have been available to me.

And there’s so many people to thank. First and foremost would of course be, you. Yes you, your comments and encouragement are what that fueled me through the past year. Then there’s my sister, whose been a helpful assistant in quite a few shots (including today’s grand finale) and a great contributor in deciding which take to upload when I’m in the least decisive. There are my fellow coursemates, who’ve been really supportive of my endeavor, putting up with my shutterbugging all the while in campus and sometimes even sportingly being subjects of my photos.

There are a lot more thing’s I’d like to say regarding 365 days worth of this project. Look out for a post on this on my main blog, as soon as I organize my thoughts and pull through this hectic period of the Lunar New Year celebrations.

Quite a few friends had asked me if I intend to continue with a second *shrug* year. YES! I’ll most definitely won’t be, heh. A year in photos is enough, way enough. As for what I’ll intend to do after this, well.. I’ll probably upload a few more 365 outtakes from last year as well as of course, fresh ones when I have the luxury to do so. It feels so nice to be able to stick to my own schedule now.

To those you who’ve just started your 365′s for the year, good luck! It’ll be over sooner that you think. =) So, thank you, for following me on my journey. It’s been great going through all of it with you all.

Tll next time! *bows out* =)

    Wow, what an impressive feat, Ember! Congratulations. I came in about half-way through your 365 and I have been checking back daily ever since. I’ve even spent many many hours, I’m sure, browsing through the entire gallery at times. You know I’m quite a fan of yours!

    Congratulations again. I hope you continue to at least upload and share more photos from time to time. :D

    Btw, I’m loving my 365 Project! I’m only about a month in to mine but it’s been so fun! And you’re right, it flies by so fast. :O

    What an amazing photo to end your 365 project! You definitely did not disappoint! I love this photo so much. I can’t believe it’s been an entire year since you started this project. Time definitely seems to move quickly these days. I applaud you for doing this, and for sticking through until the end. I know for sure that I probably would not be able to take on such a task. Thank you for sharing with us your many, wonderful photos!

      Hey lisa, yeah I do remember you! :) It’s my own custom theme, really just a quick modification of the default WordPress theme. Threaded comments haven been built into WordPress since version 2.7. Glad you liked it!
